Core Strength Training for Runners
Wednesday, April 7 - July 7, 12:15 - 1 p.m., Runner's Edge, 325 N. Higgins Ave.
Keep your core strong—right up until the Missoula Marathon on July 11, 2010. Core work conditions the body from the abdominals to the arms and legs. Often runners are much stronger in their lower extremities than their core. This results in an imbalance in the body that it will continuously try to remedy. Mats provided, comfortable clothing recommended, running shoes not required. To register or find out more about the classes offered, email instructor Alison Laundrie at alison@thepilatesplayground.com and send registration and payment to Run Wild Missoula Box 1573 Missoula, MT 59806. Cost: $77 for Run Wild Missoula members/$83 for non-members.
